The DealCatcher's been busy again, searching high and low in the world of online cycling retail to bring you deals on the very best cycling products.
Today's no exception. We've got two products that hit the incredible heights of 9/10 reviews on road.cc - that's the first item on today's list the Cannondale Synapse road bike and the final product, the Lezyne KTV Front Drive bike light.
The Cannondale's coming at you from Evans Cycles where it's experiencing a drop in price of 33%, it's also available in classic Cannondale green, or a rather stylish blacked out version.
Second on today's list is a Cube windvest from the guys over at Hargroves Cycles, which has seen a 30% discount and is perfect for these changing springtime weather conditions.
And finally, the aforementioned Lezyne KTV Front Drive is currently on sale at ProBikeKit for 25% less than usual.
Enjoy!
Evans Cycles
It's fair to say that the Cannondale Synapse is a bike we like here at road.cc, so when it's going as cheap as it is over at Evans Cycles, we feel obliged to keep you well aware of its availability.
How do you know we like it? Well, you could start with 2014's road.cc Bike of the Year competition. Yep, the Cannondale Synapse walked away with the top prize.
If that's not enough evidence, why not check out our man David Arthur's review, which you can find below. He gave it a 9/10, and called it a "classy ride."

It's that time of year: the awkward wardrobe transition.
Is it cold enough for a base layer? Will I be too warm in this thermal jacket? Is it going to rain? Should I pack my arm warmers?
These are questions you will undoubtedly be asking yourself frequently over the coming weeks and months. The answers though, they don't have to be difficult.
Popping a couple of adaptable items of clothing - like a gilet or windvest - can monumentally improve your clothing options in changable conditions.
Take this windvest from Cube for example. Not only is it reasonably priced - especially now it's had almost a third of its price lopped off - it's highly windproof, it has fantastic ventilation points, and a high collar.
All of these features are designed to keep you warm when the weather's grim, and cooler when it starts picking up.
ProBikeKit
Finally, this weird looking fella isn't some computer, or cycling Pez dispenser, it's Lezyne's highly rated KTV Front Drive light.
It may not look like much, but believe us, you'll be getting a lot more than you bargained for.
For your money you'll be getting 15 lumens, a 4-hour+ run time, and an in-built rechargable battery. We loved it so much it got a 9/10 when it flew by for review.

Woohoo!
I love this biased shit towards online retailers and the so-called 'bargains'.
If the amazing Cannondale was such a great bike then why is it on sale? You would think that such a great bike would have sold out a long time ago.
When will Joe Public realise that if something is on sale it is not a 'bargain', usually just a bad product that no one wants and needs to be cleared.
Knocking 33% off a bike is wiping out vitually all profit for the retailer, no LBS would do this unless they got a killer deal from the distributor and even then, most would not sell a shite product.
Shame about Cannondale though..... another brand gone a now just a name.
Mate this is utter tosh. It's retailers clearing unsold/previous season stock as is standard practice in any annual business cycle, online or off. You have heard of 'January sales', yes? Seen a sale rail in your local Primark? Bought two for one digestives in Tesco?
And yes, go into your LBS and shock! Horror! 2015 or older bikes at discount. This pricing is built into the business model, it doesn't necessarily mean it's a bad product. And I'd be happy to ride a Red-equipped Synapse any day of the week. Serious tinfoil-hattery here.
It means great deals for consumers and I have no idea why you think it would impact brand value. By all means pay full whack for everything if it makes you feel better, but I'm happy to save cash on new gear.
I know, they're terrible. If only they'd just won bike of the year...
15 lumens? Less than a rear light.
